How to invite your friends to Google+?

A lot of people want to get in on the beta test #-Link-Snipped-#of Google +.
To invite your friends, you have to use a built-in e-mail option for Google+ that happens to have a viral marketing component.

Here are the steps: First, figure out who you'll send invitations to. If they're already in your Gmail address book or another Google service, you're a step ahead. If not, there's some cutting and pasting in your future.
For friends whose e-mails are already in your Gmail address book or otherwise discoverable in Google+'s Circles section, add them to a special circle you created for G+ invitees. If they're not in your contacts, just hold onto their addresses for now.
Next, start a new Google+ message, the equivalent of a Facebook update message or a Twitter tweet.

In it, type an invitation message with an expectations-lowering caution.

Here's what people have been saying: "This message serves as an invite to Google+. Google throttles the signup rate, though, so it may not work at first. If not, try again later."

Next, address the message. Clear out any existing circles, then add your Google+ invitee circle. If you have individual e-mail addresses, now's the time for pasting: click on the "+Add more people" words below the message box and paste in the addresses. You'll have to click on each one to register it as you go.
Last, click the "share" button. That's it!๐Ÿ˜‰

    Could you jot down the process of inviting others here in simple points? ๐Ÿ˜€ I am sure that would be helpful.

    I read a post about it here: #-Link-Snipped-#

    But, they have mentioned the following update in the post:
    It seems it is accessible in some area only. People are still complaining that they are unable to join Google+ directly.
